What pro team do you race for? Just curious so I can watch during next year's Tour de France. Attitudes like yours are one of the biggest reasons cyclists get a bad rap....that elitist crap. I'm more than confident that there are plenty of Bike Friday owners who are better and safer riders than you by a long shot, just without the snobby attitude. This goes for a lot of different bikes besides just the Bike Friday.

I'd even wager that many normal Bike Friday owners are stronger riders than you are as well. Bike Fridays are often chosen as the bike of choice for people who have the time and money to travel all over the country (and world) to ride, ride, ride. Remember that the next time you are struggling up the hill, struggling to stay with the pace line, struggling with the days ride, as you see some middle aged guy(girl) blast past you without a care in the world.
